It just occurred to me that if staffing gets bad enough Trump will probably make a reality competition show out of it

I have a work meeting in 20 minutes and I'm workshopping a funny, topical joke for it "hey guys, to call the Trump White House a clown show is an insult to all the hard work clowns put into their performances", it's gonna get quite a few laughs and I'll get my 15 minutes in the sun

Mel Mudkiper posted:It just occurred to me that if staffing gets bad enough Trump will probably make a reality competition show out of it https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/17/us/politics/trump-appointments.html Trump doesn't give a poo poo about staffing. He's got a full cabinet but other than that, he just does not care. This isn't due to congress failing to approve nominees, either: he simply hasn't bothered to nominate anyone for over a hundred deputy and assistant secretary positions. A bunch of executive-branch departments are basically running without top management in place; for a while he was coasting on Obama-administration people who stayed on, but they've mostly all been fired or left on their own by now.  The filled-in circles are confirmed positions or holdover positions that are still filled; the red circles are positions where the senate hasn't confirmed the nominee yet; the rest there's just been no nominee yet. LOL who needs a functioning state department, amirite? What do those nerds do anyway

quote:Trump has touted the results from Rasmussen in the past, openly celebrating on Twitter in June after he hit 50 percent in the firm's daily survey. "Great news!" he tweeted alongside a graphic showing Rasmussen's results. A few days later he again tweeted, "The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election, just out with a Trump 50% Approval Rating.That's higher than O's #'s!" In the month and a half that followed, his approval rating has plummeted 11 percentage points in the Rasmussen survey.

So anyways, since Bug Selig got inducted into the Hall of Fame (lol) I was thinking about how much everyone hated him and how everyone hates Goodell and how everyone hated Stern etc. etc. So it got me thinking, who were the best Commissioners in sports? It seems like they are universally toadies for the owners, but there has to be some good ones. Adam Silver seems ok

The ideal arrangement is a player-owned league where they hire a few stiffs to be neutral admins. No more owners. We're a long way away from that, though.

People didn't hate stern nearly the way they hated bud selig, or hate Bettman or Goodell now. Stern was always grudgingly respected.

Nationalize the whole league, put them under direct control of the municipalities they play in, every so often other cities can bid on the worst 2 teams. Give the Jets to New Jersey

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:From Trump's perspective this IS draining the swamp. Yeah that's probably what he'd say if you asked him, but the truth is some combination of being too lazy and dysfunctional to actually look for and find nominees, plus... actually most people don't want to work for Trump, especially just to get a low-paying job as Undersecretary for Political Affairs in the State Dept. or (especially) Deputy Secretary of the EPA. Qualified candidates need to actually be functional administrators with deep knowledge in their field, and those people tend to actually care a little about what their department is supposed to be accomplishing. They do not want to hitch their wagons to such an obviously failing president, work in such a toxic environment, and then probably just get thrown under the bus when poo poo falls apart as it is definitely going to do. So yeah "draining the swamp," sure, but no nominee yet for Assistant Secretary for Acquisition in the Defense Department? If there's one thing Trump's been consistent about it's wanting to spend on the military. How about Assistant Secretary for Fossil Fuels in the Energy department? Trump wants to revitalize coal, but he hasn't staffed a position that would help him do that. How about Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in DHS? For gently caress's sake, he's trying to get Congress to build the wall, he's trying to kick out more immigrants, but he can't be assed to even nominate someone to run ICE? Part of Trump's issue is that he and his insiders (steve bannon, jared kushner) insist on direct loyalty from everyone he nominates. He's not letting his cabinet members pick their own staffs: he literally doesn't trust them to do their jobs, he doesn't want anyone else having a staff loyal to them rather than him, and his litmus tests for every position no matter how irrelevant to their actual job eliminates almost everyone who might have been a viable candidate otherwise. It's truly amazing.

Real talk, a player-owned league would look very different from a government-owned league, which would probably be atrocious. Imagine the grift.
